Flint knapping Question?
i live by the little walnut river in butler county, kansas. i am wondering what rock i can use for knapping. i also would like to know how to heat treat the rock. i have plenty of limestone but i believe it's too soft. thanks for your help
You are not likely to have any local obsidian but you would likely find some chert or flint.
I don't know the area but it looks like you have flint.

The only heat treatment for flint that I ever heard of was getting it hot and pouring water on it to crack it. You can just crack it.
